Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.

History

Administration

By the 5th century the Angles (after whom East Anglia and England are named) had established control of the region. The Angles later became the "north folk" and the "south folk", from which developed the names "Norfolk" and "Suffolk". Suffolk and several adjacent areas became the kingdom of East Anglia, which later merged with Mercia and then Wessex.

Jay was born into a wealthy family of merchants and government officials in New York City. He became a lawyer and joined the New York Committee of Correspondence and organized opposition to British rule. He joined a conservative political faction that, fearing mob rule, sought to protect property rights and maintain the rule of law while resisting British violations of human rights.

PeterKrauss is running for Suffolk CountySheriff because there is culture of corruption that threatens the life, liberty, and property of every resident in the county. Do you believe this is true?
Last year the County Executive, Steve Bellone, indicated that there is “culture of corruption” in Suffolk County Government, and he implicated the District Attorney, Thomas Spota, as being the head of a, “criminal enterprise.” This is a very serious allegation and there is plenty of reason to believe him.
We must eliminate this, “culture of corruption” and electing another Democrat or Republican only allows the culture to persist. We cannot eliminate this culture from the inside out; it must be from the outside in.
My experience as an NYPDSergeant qualifies me for the office of sheriff: Hired as a Police Officer in 1993; Promoted to Sergeant in 2003; Assigned to an administrative position working for the Chief of Personnel and being promoted to Sergeant Special Assignment in recognition of my work for the chief in 2007. Reporting directly to the First DeputyCommissioner every month on personnel related issues. My experience as an NYPD Sergeant qualifies me for the office of Sheriff.

Trump Rails Against MS-13 Gang And Immigrants -Full Speech To Police

Speaking before an audience of law enforcement officers at Suffolk County Community College, Trump blamed past administrations for failing to enforce immigration laws.
"For many years, they exploited America’s weak borders and immigration enforcement," Trump said of gangs such as MS-13. "They are there right now because of weak political leadership ... and in many cases police who are not allowed to do their job because they have a pathetic mayor or a mayor who does not know what’s going on."
